Lake Geneva, WI – The Lake Geneva Police Department is teaming up with the Wilderness Episcopal Church in Elkhorn for this year’s “Christmas for the Kids” campaign, aiming to brighten the holidays for Walworth County families in need.
According to the department, donations will be accepted through November 18, 2025, in the lobby of the Lake Geneva Police Department. All items should be new and unwrapped.
Requested items include gas and grocery gift cards, warm winter clothing (mittens, socks, boots), pajamas, and board games, along with household essentials like cleaning supplies, bed sheets, and baking items. The drive also welcomes nonperishable foods for holiday meal baskets — including canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, rice, peanut butter, coffee, and dessert mixes.
The “Christmas for the Kids” program, organized for 19 years by the Wilderness Episcopal Church, supports families receiving services from the Walworth County Department of Health and Human Services.
Donors can drop off items daily during regular police department hours. Community members are encouraged to participate and help “spread a little holiday hope right here at home,” the department said.
